Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 283 Vehicles and Psionic Skills

Song Shi pushed open the door, sat on Lapis Lazuli, crossed the city skyline, and drove towards the destination amid the roar of construction machinery.

The impact of that war has not yet dissipated. The most obvious point is the devastated First and Second Districts. However, repairs and reconstruction are being carried out day and night, and the original outline of the city has been barely restored.

In order to avoid chaos, Lapis Lazuli turned on the optical simulation, and in just a moment, the two arrived at the place.

Song Shi jumped to the ground and burned the ruins of an apartment next to him that was about to be completely demolished into ashes, which shocked the driver who had just driven the bulldozer. After burning the apartment, Song Shi was satisfied, nodded to the latter, and entered the base in front.

After temporarily eliminating the threat from companies led by Fubo Energy, Qimingzhe can finally show up openly. In order to expand its influence, it has begun to relocate some bases to the ground. This logistics base is one of them.

However, once they entered, they found that there were very few people inside, probably all out on field work. A traction navigation drone that had been waiting for a long time quickly came up to lead the way for Song Shi and Lapis Lazuli.

A few minutes later, the end was reached.

There was only one vehicle parked in the huge, empty garage.

It was a car painted all black, with a streamlined body that perfectly conformed to aerodynamics, yet it was filled with a strong sense of power. Violence and luxury, two completely different visual styles, were perfectly integrated into one by the senior art director.

"Let me see the level 4 embedded armor plate, level 4 anti-electromagnetic interference module, super road condition balance instrument, and zero time difference intelligent control system." Song Shi circled around the car and raised his eyebrows: "This structure still uses fluidless power?"

"Add this to these." Song Shi's eyes turned to the car logo again. It was the pattern of "Margarita", a high-end vehicle sub-brand of Timely Passage. "This thing must cost tens of millions of credit points to start. When did you, the Enlightened Ones, become so rich?"

"After Fubo Energy was defeated, quite a number of people were afraid of being liquidated by us, so they immediately sold their assets and tried to leave Zhuguang City as soon as possible. They had a lot of things that they didn't have time to take with them, so they were forced to stay."

Gwenlin's voice came from the drone: "We towed this car from an underground private garage. The previous owner went bankrupt because of the plummeting stock price of Fubo Energy and the sale of all his assets."

"He wanted to leave Lightcasting City and change his appearance, but he was caught by the tax inspection team of Dark Crystal Credit. Originally, they were going to auction off the car to raise funds, but we negotiated with them and they stopped it."

"Margarita's 'Vansta' replica from the previous season is limited to 12 units for sale online, priced at 34 million credits." Lapis Lazuli also searched the query and accurately stated the parameters and other information: "One of the biggest highlights is the fluid-free power, which uses a light nuclear fission engine set. The maximum speed exceeds 700 kilometers per hour, and the acceleration from 0.7 seconds to 100 kilometers per hour."

Song Shi estimated the destructive power of the self-explosion and nodded subconsciously.

"Considering that you are going to drive off-road for a long distance, we have dismantled some components and focused on strengthening the load and pressure resistance." Gwenlin paused and had the drone throw a key over: "Anyway, it's yours now."

While Song Shi was taking the key, Gwenlin said, "In addition to the basic supplies, we also put a set of standard units of mechanical materials. If there is a problem with the car on the road, you can ask Lapis Lazuli to repair it."

[Southern Heavy Industry]'s singularity technology "Universal Printer" is known as an all-purpose industrial machine. As long as there is a technology blueprint and enough materials, it can produce any corresponding technology, equipment and devices. As long as the "Universal Printer" is there, even if the world is reduced to ruins overnight, humans can rebuild civilization on the ruins.

As a second-level [Transcendence] omnic, Lapis Lazuli is still far from this level, but he also has similar functions, at least he can be used as a temporary mechanical repairman. "You are so well prepared, you have considered everything."

Song Shi walked around the car and smiled: "Why don't we just leave today?"

Gwenlin completely ignored the young man's words, paused, and said, "This is all the logistics we can do. But one thing, are you sure you don't plan to engrave a few more psychic skills before setting off?"

In order to break through the suppression of the company and take into account its own limitations, "super individual soldiers" have always been the core development direction of Qimingzhe. However, Qimingzhe does have a technological gap with the company in terms of prosthetics, weapons and modules. Therefore, in terms of super individual soldiers, Qimingzhe relies more on psychic power than other things.

Therefore, they have stockpiled a considerable amount of psychic skills and rituals, which Song Shi can call upon at will as long as he wants.

"No need." Song Shi said without hesitation: "I already have an idea of ​​the next combination of psychic skills, and to be honest, there is no need to rush."

As if he suddenly remembered something, Song Shi looked up at the drone: "——Gwenlin, do you have any records of the ritual of 'Practicing the Heart of Casting'?"

One point and three seconds later, Gwenlin's voice sounded, and she said cautiously: "No, at least in the database that I am allowed to search, I can't find any relevant records. Do you need this psychic skill? We can keep an eye on it and pass on the news to--"

"Oh, that's not necessary." Song Shi nodded: "I can just tell you directly."

"Hmm?" Gwenlin was quiet for a while, then slowly uttered a syllable.

"——Follow your will and never regret even if you die."

Song Shi tapped his chest and said, "The most fundamental point in obtaining the 'Heart of Practice' is that your heart cannot be changed. In other words, your heart can only change because of yourself, and cannot be changed by external things - no, not even shaken."

"It is a universal psychic skill that is not limited to a certain path. Its origin cannot be verified for now, but I personally speculate that it may have been created by Truth. The specific content of the ritual is, 'Travel thousands of miles without changing your mind.'"

Song Shi looked at the car and said casually, "Its ceremony is one of the more bizarre ones. It can be complicated or simple, depending on the person. But no matter which one it is, it takes a long time."

"It has been collected." Gwenlin asked, "Is there anything else you want to add?"

"No, no, there is a little bit." Song Shi thought about it and suddenly laughed: "It can be used with 'Burning Blood' and 'Forging Flame', the effect is..."

Song Shi knocked on the car door and said leisurely: "——Very strong."
